Rough Draft
In this story "The OUTSIDERS" by S.E Hinton is about gangs, also I think that the purpose is the comparison and contrast between both gangs. The gangs are Greasers and Socials. They are both gangs and they are pretty tough. ("Tuff") But Greasers are poor they do not have money like the Socials do, Socials have weapons like knives and other type which is not named yet in the story which i have not reached yet. Anyways, the Greasers have knives but they do not carry it all the time, and when they do not have it all the time they just find a glass bottle and break the end of it so then it can become spiky and sharp. Socials always have weapons with them the never have to use a bottle because they are too rich to Greasers. By the way, they usually fight with their own fist because they just want to give each other pain for now they do not want to kill them. Anyways the purpose was achieved because i can already tell what the whole story is about because of the first chapter. They basically try to show who is a better gang and why.

Basically, in the story it is based upon how they are safety and the most important is caring for Greasers. By saying how they are meaning their looks and how it makes them a Greaser, what makes them a is Greasing their hair back. What make a Social are their close and their objects, their close is a blue madras shirt also their object is their mustang. The Greasers always need a weapon with them because they are always getting jumped or they will need another group member because one of the Greasers got jumped and the while team came and scared the Socials away. Caring is the last thing because the three main people in the story their names are Darry Curtis who’s the oldest brother, Sodapop Curtis second to oldest, and Ponyboy Curtis the youngest. Their parents died in a car accident which makes Darry do all the hard work because he has a job that gives him muscle spasm.

Overall, as the part I read Ponyboy who is the main character thinks that his big brother Darry is an ass but he really is not because all he do wanting the best of him and always worrying about him since their is no one else to except Sodapop here is a quote from Sodapop have to say about Darry because of Ponyboy's life "Listen, kiddo, when Darry hollers at you . . . he don't mean nothin'. He's just got more worries than somebody his age ought to. Don't take him serious . . . you dig, Pony? He's really proud of you 'cause you're so brainy. It's just because you're the baby-I mean, he loves you a lot." As people can see is that Darry is just caring about his little brother by yelling at him and teaching him the bad things and the rights things. Darry is just trying to be the bigger man as he is trying to be so he can take care of his brothers which is one of the main points of the story.
As reading through the book I sort of see what the other is really trying to show us in my opinion. I think that it is about care for each other I am talking about Ponyboy Curtis, Sodapop Curtis, and Darry Curtis. Because they're parents died in a car accident so now Darry who is the oldest is in charge of everything that is happening. Darry have two jobs because there would not be anyone else to support them. He works to give them food so they would not be sad all the time because there parents usably give them food and make it but they are not there. So that is why i think that the author is trying to say look how important caring is and if they were not taking care of each other they would get in a big mess or even to death because the symbols of their gang.

Carrying is a good thing for the family because I know that it would not be great if one of your brothers or sisters die. (Just trying to get to the point this is an example) Anyways they are so worried about each other because they do not want anymore people from their family to die. That is all they have is each other. Here is a quote were it showed that Darry cared about Ponyboy as he left his house for 5 days
"Oh, Pony, I thought we'd lost you . . . like we did Mom and Dad . . ."
This shows a lot of love in my opinion and it also showing that he really cares about him because he does not want anyone from his family to pass away because he Darry said that his Mom and Dad are enough.

I think that this was well achieved because it does not just show one place where the other one cares about each other there is many different places like when Ponyboy was getting jumped his brother and the whole Greasers came to have his back. There are many different places where there is love and carrying but I am just naming the main thing that had me almost in a tear drop. Which is the one above?
The paragraphs above are both of my review of the book. Which the second one was more accurate because I had read more into the story it brings a lot of info and it grabs people attention. It was a great book also it is one of my favorite. It gives me ideas of how I should change and become a better person. They have been through a very rough time in life because they were orphans and were in a gang which makes them extremely unsafe. It gives me and idea in the future of how should I become when I lost my parents, I know that I will change deeply and do what my parents would expect me to do to keep them happy and myself.
